The guitar solos are the sh*t. I too feel a certain emotion when they hit these solos regardless if I care for the melody..but sure doesn't hurt if the songs are arranged well enough to get me to that point. Otherwise I may skip the song before the "good" parts. I always liked that about Pink Floyd; Didn't much care for most of a song but waited in anticipation for that solo. Who invented the guitar solo anyway? I remember wearing a 'Faith No More' tee shirt OOOOOHHHHH soooooooooo Looooonnnnnggggg ago..same thing happened, friend was like who is that? I said, "ikd..it was free". hehe, we went to their concert a few months later to check them out and I was officially introduced to a mosh pit. NOT BY CHOICE. Just didn't see it coming. Come to think of it, I was also introduced to skill on how to move through a crowd quickly ;-)
This was the song that was playing when the mosh pit broke out:
